In another precious shot, the 20-year-old stunner goofed around with a little girl whom Gigi said has “the best personality.”

“This is Princess. She was tired so we decided to take a nap before pics with mom,” Gigi wrote, explaining why she and the youngster are pictured laughing on the floor.

Launched in 2010, the Ryan Seacrest Foundation is a non-profit organization that builds multimedia broadcast studios inside pediatric centers nationwide.

According to its website, the RSF aims to “inspire today’s youth through entertainment and education focused initiatives” and “bring patients exciting and stimulating adventures to encourage optimistic thoughts during treatment.”

Founder and chairman Ryan Seacrest says on the RSF site that the platform “allows for patients to interact with a state-of-the-art radio/TV studio and meet some of the biggest stars in entertainment.”

Gigi isn’t the only celebrity who has shown her support for Ryan’s cause. David Beckham, Nick Jonas, Britney Spears, Selena Gomez and many others have contributed their time on behalf of the charity as well.

“Thank you @ryanfoundation and @chocchildrens for this opportunity and for everything you do to make the kids’ days a bit easier,” Gigi added in her post.
